Chimichurri
This is the perfect accompaniment for fish, meat, poultry or even vegetables. It looks complicated for guests and is so easy that you can throw it together in the blender in 2 minutes! It can be made hand chopped for a more rustic look or in the blender/food processor for a smoother look. Whatever you prefer!
